PC becomes very slow once i start using Spiceworks due to this my works on Spice Works slow downs. it gives an error "Adobe player 10 is running slow. and it will slow down your system process would you like to continue with the same"

Hey Jas thanks for your reply. i am using Win XP, 2 GB Ram. even now i am facing the problem... it is very very very slow to load a single page. i dont find any problem when i open any other website or PDFs in Mozilla.. but only this gives me a error by Adobe.

Hey Chaya2602, it is widely reported and certainly what we have seen that Spiceworks 5.0 is up to and sometimes better than 50% faster than previous version.

As Jas has been trying to get at the problem is very likely your PC and it's current resource deployment. Using Task Manager, take a look at what processes are running (include all processes) before you start Spiceworks. It can also be a pretty good indicator how many apps are sitting in the Tray when they could just as easily be started from the Start Menu and not be using RAM and processor when you are not wanting to use them.

We have a number of instances of Spiceworks running on VMs with one or in most cases 2 cores and only 2Gb of allocated RAM so it's unlikely that is a problem unless you have the combination of too many apps using resources, that don't need to be, and possible a single core CPU.

You really should be able to use MSConfig, to reduce the number of apps that launch at startup and save some resources. Stuff like Adobe updater and other updaters do not 'NEED' to run at startup, most of them will check for updates when you use them anyway. Please also not that iTunes and all it's associated bit use loads of resources that do not need to be used and iTunes will still run perfectly without them, well as'perfectly' as it does on PCs anyway.. :(

Report back when you have the number of runing processes and the number of active tray icons and of course your actual CPU so we have an idea of how resource deprived the system is.

You also need to ensure you are using the latest version of Spiceworks to get the most benefit you can, 5.0.59341 was released today, it has all the performance built into 5.0 and a big swag of fixes too.
